In both texts there is one young woman who is relied on to save the place they call home from the antagonist. Text to World: This book also reminds me of Russia due to the similarites between the society of Ravka and Russia. Both cultures are very similar due to the fact that Ravka is a fantasy version of Russia.Shadow and BoneBy: Leigh BardugoThe shadow fold. This is where evil was born.

The authors reinvention of a fantasy world taking place in a country reminiscent of imperial Russia was very intriguing and creative. I would rate this book a 8.5 out of 10. The protagonist is Alina Starkov. Alina is the protagonist because it is told from her point of view in first person. Also, the story revolves around Alina's life and the problems and obstacles that are created when she journeys to the grand palace in Os Alta.The antagonist is the Darkling. The Darkling is the antagonist because he opposes the protagonist. In the book the Darkling creates a situation in which the protagonist (Alina) is forced to fight against him because they don't share the same ideals. -Alina is brought to Os Alta beacause she releases an extraordinary ability only heard of in old folktales and stories.-She meets the Darkling and realizes too late why she was ordered to be brought there.-With the help of a friend Alina escapes the grand palace and delays the Darkings plans.- The final resolution is revealed in the third and final book.-After many years at Karamzin Alina and mal join the army. -After adapting to their regiment from long days and even longer months Alina and Mal's regiment is chosen to enter the shadow fold.-Hoping to come back with the needed supplies and food, Alina swallows her fears and readies to board the sand skiff across the hazy blackness.- Her hope of a smooth and silent ride is shattered when volcra attack and kill many men.-Mal is injured trying to protect Alina and in a desperate attempt to save him she releases a dormant power.-This, so she can be trained, gets her a one way ticket to the grand palace, and the waiting adventures ahead.Elements of StyleSimilie- Her voice cracked out like a whip.
